Abta has called for the government to rethink its policy on removing travel agents from the list of businesses that have to close due to the lockdown in England.
The government explained to TTG its rationale for removing agents from the list of non-essential shops on Thursday (19 November). But Abta said this showed a “lack of understanding for how the travel industry works”.
The government’s U-turn means travel agencies may not be able to access support grants during the four-week lockdown, which is currently due to end on 2 December.
